This is an introductory course of the survey type. Coverage includes the diversity of
protozoan and metazoan groups that include species that parasitize animals.
Some emphasis is placed on groups of particular medical and/or economic importance.
Lectures and labs emphasize knowledge of the biology of individual parasites. Basic
"principles of parasitism" are introduced in the context of groups of parasites that
exemplify these principles particularly well.
